"Silent Hill" was the name of the farming colony south of Rufturf making it also one of the border towns for the wastelands, it was named for its quiet nature having it never seen any trouble but why would it being the center of the Falborne Kingdom one of the most heavily-guarded places in the entirety of Allura.But that was about to change...

As a fog began to arise in the morning air, with it came the sounds and echoes of torture and screaming, beings began to emerge from the fog as more and more emerged Silent Hills protectors were called.

"They're getting in barricade your doors,BARRICADE YOUR DO-", the knight yelled in agony as he was thrusted to the ground by a decaying soldier who began to blow a breathe onto the fallen knights face just like the fog that was covering most of the farming colony's town.

The nameless knight struggled with the decaying soldier's weight ontop of him, he felt nausea as the breath made him feel disoriented, the blade sinking deeper and deeper into his gut , his conscious slipping. Everything began to fade to black as he heard a raspy voice simply saying "You belong to me now..."

As the decaying soldier left him there he tried to get up off the ground. While he still heard the raspy voice saying commands trying to fight it, but the voice just kept pouring through as if his body and mind was no longer his, he began to move and saw himself charging but he couldn't stop. Heading towards a door which was locked. He pounded and smashed the door in only to see what his body was working for....A young kid who was alone.

The eerie fog began to envelop the room, and the kid suddenly started puking on the floor nearby.The knight moved forward, the fog thickened the room more and more with each step to the point where nothing could be seen.

3 hours earlier....

A mist-like presence was surrounding a guardpost, whos main objective was to make sure no bandits from the wastelands got in and tried to cause trouble in the Falborne Kingdom. The knights patrolled the area at all times but not like today these knights were different they barely seemed alive, some where even missing arms and sections of there torsos but they still seemed to move.

Near the center of the guardpost a figure could be seen , standing in tattered robes, holding a sword by his side he muttered words as he collected intelligence from his newly found army learning the entire land of Allura, its districts, and areas in under a hour.

"What to do...what to do...", Sezarius thought to himself, " The next course of action should definitely be to add more soldiers to my army, but should i wait here and lure them into a trap, or move ahead now and seize more towns", then he suddenly recalled a nearby farming colony by the name of "Silent HIll"

He silently whispered "We march", as his army stepped in unison to their next goal.....

((OOC: the halloween story doesnt exactly start until Thursday Night but u can go ahead and post if u want just remember u cant post twice in a row ( my first post was a introduction),also josh i used akuin i hope you dont mind i just needed him kinda XDD )).

"Damn...",Karu said with agitation in his voice, as he noticed the store's sign had been painted over again with the words "Gravv n' friends","Does he always have to put his name?".He walked in the front door and sat his training equipment back in there places."Eh, Akuin how long are you gonna wait over there",he asked as he looked over his shoulder at what seemed to be a mysterious figure in a dark cloak."Cut your training short today",he said walking out of the corner and into the middle of the room,"You're slacking", he finished with a smirk."Only because neither Gravv or Genn was around today", he said as he walked into the back room to take exchange his weighted clothes for lighter ones. " No punching bag, no mentor makes me a dull boy"."Yeah..anyways, I'm here on important business", Akuin added."A job!?", he said with excitement as he walked back into the main room with Akuin," Quick whats the details, who do we have to kill?"."The specifics will be given to us at the southern gate"."Southern Gate huh?",he said while quickly packing for the mission," Quick!, Dagger or Katana?"."Dagger".Akuin answered quickly as he already began to walk out of the front door."So, you have no idea whats going on with the mission we're being hired for?",Karu asked as he ran to keep up with Akuin,checking his pockets to make sure he got everything."Nothing really other than what i heard from some refugees that arrived here this afternoon, something about their farming colony being attacked possible chemical warfare,kinda out of the usual for them anyways"."Oh i see",Karu said with a thoughtful expression on his face,"So whats the first course of action, run in beat up anything and everything, comeback receive loots?"."We aren't leading this mission we were hired as back-up", Akuin pointed at the Ten people assembled at the Southern Gate. Karu quickly saw Genn in his Rufturf Militia Attire, consisting of leather armour and a basic sheated katana and knife.Tole , Gravv, and a few other RM members was present too, but Gravv was wearing his normal clothing. As they began to near the group they could see Genn was preparing for a briefing of the mission at hand.

"Alright now that everyone is here we can finally get started",Genn nodded towards Karu's direction," I'm assuming everyone has some idea why there actually here". Gravv began to mess around in his pockets like he forgot something. "Except you...",he muttered under his breath.Turning his attention back to the others actually listening."It seems a Farming colony(Silent Hill) just on the outer-border of the Wastelands was terrorized by bandits just yesterday and we were hired to go check it out, we believe they are using some sort of chemical causing sickness and other side-effects", Genn quickly nodded towards Tole. Tole began to pass out face masks,Gravv grabbed a few more than usual.Everyone began to try out there facemasks making sure they work properly. "Ok, I see everyone knows how to use them and can clearly see what there for". Genn pointed towards a map of Rufturf that was extended to the south." Now onto the battle plan, the best course of action would be to leave from the Southern Gate of Rufturf, here", he pointed it out on the map" And taking a route like this", he continued as he dragged his finger right on the outer layer of the Keihoset Forest that led directly into the Eastern-Part of Silent Hill. "Any questions?".

The group silently marched out of Rufturf and on there way to the Keihoset Forest. Karu began to count the fellow members with them,"Me, Akuin, Gravv, Genn, Tole and Seven other members", he looked towards Akuin," Can't be to bad of a mission right?"."We will have to see when we get there ", Akuin quickly answered, as his attention was directed towards what Gravv was doing at the moment."Hey guys look im a girl!!!!",Gravv exclaimed as he showed the facemasks he put around his chest, only to quickly be hit in the forehead by the hilt of Genn's katana. A few of the members broke out in laughter mostly at the fact Gravv just got hit by the person in command."C'mon Gravv the least you can do is take this seriously", Karu thought as he rubbed his face with his hand right as they began to enter the forest.

"I found something!" Max shouted as he rounded a corner in the dank halls of the ruins. Keri, Justin, Eric, and himself had heard rumors of a secluded old fort lost inside the southern part of Keihoset Forest."Wonder what it is?" asked Keri coming up behind him. They had been searching for treasure for hours but to no avail."I'm surprised you found something in this place," Eric said rounding a different corner, "It's not even in the Wastes like the other ruins, so it's the safest place to search. It'd only make sense that others have already beaten us to the good stuff...""So what did you find Max?" asked Justin finally bringing up the rear.

Max walked over to the large stone chest silently, and began to push with all his strength on the lid. The others in his group followed suit, and after a bit of straining, the friction eased and the lid slid off the top making a crashing thud on impact with the ground. Sadly, there wasn't much inside. A handful of old coins, a couple of gems and a skeleton. Keri screamed at the sight of the dead man, but the others didn't seem to mind his presence, and continued grave-robbing. "Guys, this looks like a burial chamber, I don't think we should be stealing from a tomb!" she said hesitantly, but the others took what they could find in the dark, stone coffin and proceeded to search for other hidden treasures throughout the room."Don't worry, it's not like he's going to get mad about it or anything." Max teased as a cold air blew into the room along with a strange mist.

Eric froze in his tracks after only a few seconds. A look of shock on his face as the atmosphere of the room suddenly changed to have a feeling of unrest and hostility. "Justin...is anyone else in the area...other than us?"Justin closed his eyes and focused his mind-reading powers. After a few seconds he pin-pointed everyone in the room's mind. He could see Max, Keri, Eric...--"What the HELL?!?" he shouted as he realized there were over 50 separate presences in the room other than themselves. Focusing in on the different thoughts of the unknown entities, Justin was dumbfounded when each and every one of them was thinking the exact same thing. "You belong to me now...do as I command..."

"Let's get out of here...NOW!" he yelled as vicious shrieks and pounding noises echoed throughout the ruins. Keri took a step back and as something siezed her from behind let out a shriek of terror. Turning instantly, Max cleaved into the remains of the skeletal monstrosity that had been lying dormant only moments before with a powerful upward slash from his sword. Pieces of bone crumbled to the ground as the group stood watching, and readied their weapons, cautiously making their way to the exit.

The shrieking continued and suddenly from the rubble of broken tombs, emerged more of the undead creatures."For being dead for so long, they sure do wake up pretty fast..." Eric said sarcastically, "be careful, I'm sensing that there's something strange about this fog...we should leave...right now!"

Keri drew a pair of cards from her pocket and began to focus energy into them. The skeletons inched closer, now converging on the group from one side, cornering them against a wall. "PYRO SHOT!" she yelled as flames engulfed the cards and shot out at high speed into the cluster of undead, knocking some of them to pieces, and igniting others.

Taking advantage of the opening, the gang ran for the exit, leaving out of the ruins in only a few seconds and into a thick fog, much thicker than it had been within the ruins. Max turned around instantly and leaped into the air. His blade glowed brightly in his hands as he brought it down with a cleaving motion into the entrance. The rocks split and crumbled falling down and sealing up the ruins, they were safe, and the undead couldn't escape. The sun was almost set in the sky, making it much harder to see. They wouldn't make it back to Rufturf by the end of the day, and after that little experience, they didn't want to be traveling at night.

"I know of a farming colony close by called Silent Hill." said Justin walking off to the east, "we can make it there by sunset if we hurry. I'm sure they'll have vacancies at their Inn." And with that, the group headed off toward the town. Not knowing what lay in store for them once they got there.

"There it is", Karu thought to himself after seeing Silent Hill in the distance. He watched as him and the others on the same mission marched towards the boundary of the forest, preparing to surprise attack in the middle of the night.

" Alright, everyone get ready, we're nearing the town now keep your eyes peeled i dont want any surprises", Genn commanded while he nodded towards Gravv and Akuin, Gravv quickly paced towards the front with his gladius drawn taking point, ready for anything. " Theres that seriousness i wanted" , Karu quickly pulled out his Dagger right as Akuin disappeared from view scouting the ahead area from a birds eye view most likely.

The rest moved through the trees in a quick jog advancing on the forest with no opposition, the smoke of one of the outer houses quickly came into view over head.The house seemed fine the chimney was still goin but they were sure no one was living there anymore. They began to close in on the rear of the house." Kneel and wait here", Genn whispered as they walked out of the forest.

The town still had lights going they could make out most of the area they were in, Karu just didnt feel right as he saw Genn sneak around the corner to breach the house ."C'mon Karu your used to this"he was thinking to himself as he heard the back window above his head shift open."Akuin unlocked the door, few of you go around ", Genn said as he backed away from the window.Karu quickly did a short jump landing himself on the window ledge, sliding in legs first.The others already were placing the inside furniture against the windows and Gravv along with Tole were positioning a dresser readying to block the front door.

"Alright, i want everyone to stay alert here while Akuin and Karu scout the town", Genn said quickly glancing at them both, "I suggest you both split up and search different are-", Karu and Akuin were both gone by the time he even finished his sentence.

"This is it", Karu thought to himself while running incredibly fast through the town looking for where the enemies were possibly located, the mission had finally started.

"I figured we would have made it here a little faster." Justin said as the group entered the quiet town. It was already sunset and they had been walking for a good hour. A thick fog like they had seen earlier had settled over the town."There's the Inn up ahead, you guys have enough money for a room right?" Eric asked looking at the gang. After recieving affirmative nodds from everyone, he opened the front door and entered.

The town was quiet...even for having the name "Silent Hill", the place seemed deserted. Inside the Inn, the lights were out, nothing to see but blackness. Justin walked to the table by the light of the moon and lit a few candles. Slight illumination filled the room with an orange glow and disfigured, ominous shadows.

"This is wierd guys..." Keri said moving closer to the light source, "Where is everybody?"Looking deeply into the darkness, behind the counter, Max spotted what looked like a person standing there. "Hey! Are you the Innkeeper?" he asked without a response, "Why are you standing here in the dark?"Suddenly the others noticed the figure. It was a girl with long hair flowing down and covering her eyes from them. She looked about 17, and was just standing there with her head down, as if she was asleep on her feet.Max moved closer to the counter as Keri reached out slowly to stop him, but was too scared to make a sound. Justin and Eric drew their respective blades as if they could sense the danger in the room.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he was close enough to hear the girls raspy breathing only a few feet away from her. "Why are the lights off in here? Listen, we're in need of a room for the night, and were wondering if you've got any available..." the girl stood there, the wind swaying her hair slightly from the still-opened door. "Are you listening? HEY!" he shouted, slamming his fists onto the counter, but before the sound finished echoing, the girl was lunging at him over the counter, releasing a blood curdling shriek as she flew.

She grabbed Max by the throat and took him to the ground, but an instant later, a shoe is driven into her rib-cage as Keri delivers a rescue-kick to her. She flies a couple of feet and rolls into a wall, then slowly stands to her feet.

"What the hell is your problem?!?" Max shouted as the girl came again, staggering in her steps, getting ever closer, breathing with a heavy, raspy sound. The group backed up towards the door as she advanced, planning to run rather than be forced fight with the crazed girl. However, as she neared the light of the candle, the bloody sword wound in her chest became plainly visible to them all. Her eyes were glazed over with a glassy blue color. A strange fog was emitting from her mouth. She stank horribly, like a dead animal. It quickly became apparent that the girl wasn't human, or atleast, not anymore.

"What the hell happened here",Karu muttered to himself as he walked past a butchery shop that looked like it had closed because it had previously burnt down. " This is still warm ", he said as he rubbed his hand along the outer showing ash smeared across his hand, quickly wiping it off on his pants leg, "its not safe to go in there", as he continued to walk farther into the town.

The town was definitely deserted from the way it seemed, Karu walked past many residences all void of any sign of life, getting depressed and more anxious seeing each and every house with half-boarded windows,doors ripped off there hinges, and blood stains on the ground.

"The bastards sure did a number on this place, i wonder if they're any survivors still around, hopefully they ran into Keihoset forest until we arrived", he noticed a ripped shirt on the ground and picked it up "blood stains.." he said as he balled his fist around it.

"What the hell is your problem?!?", he heard angry and panicked voice coming from a building that resembled a inn. Karu quickly pulled out 3 kunai in-between each finger, as he threw the bloodied shirt down. He quickly slipped next to the building trying to peek in a window on the first floor hoping to see what was going on.

"Max and his crew are here!, did they hear about the attack, or is this just bad timing?".

"That girl is hurt, did Max attack her?".

"No, the wound in her chest is too small for it to be any of them".

"She is walking closer to them, she needs help!".

Karu quickly rounded around the corner and busted through the door as the strange girl began to emitting a fog-like vapor out of her mouth,seeing her walk into the light he got a better view of her and quickly exchanging glances with the others seeing the panic in there eyes, Karu launched the kunai each hitting her directly in the chest knocking her to the ground.

"Karu!" Max shouted as the light-foot rushed in and took the girl to the ground. "What are you doing here?"

"You guys do realize this place was just attacked by something, right?" he replied not turning from the girl's body. *I didn't hit her that hard...she shouldn't be dead.* he thought to himself as she lay there motionless.

"What exactly is going on?" Keri asked in a shaken voice, but before the question could be answered, the girl's body rose slowly to it's feet and grabbed ahold of one of the knives in her chest, and then ripped it out. Max at this point was already preparing his blade, and wasn't about to be taken by surprise again.

The girl bolted in their direction, another shriek piercing the silence of the town, and echoing loudly. She rushed Justin this time, and with the blade lunging for his throat, he dodged to the side, deflecting her hand with his elbow, then with a fluid-spinning motion, ran her through the back with his falchion.

The color left her eyes, and she exhaled a deep breath of mist as her body went limp. Slanting his blade downward, the girl slid off and thumped to the ground. "I went through her heart...damnit!"

"Seems that she had lost her mind...it had to be done." Karu said returning to a normal standing position. "The fog is dangerous if inhaled too long, you should find some cloths to cover your mouths and noses." As the group proceeded to tear clothing and find rags, another ear-piercing shriek could be heard off in the distance. "We should leave...I've gotta report to Genn what I've found here..."

With that, the group followed Karu off towards the eastern part of town.

"I see...so they did send someone after all'", Sezarius said standing in the middle of a open field, eyes glazed over blue,looking through the eyes of one of his followers who had just encountered living beings in the town.

"They seem skilled I better not underestimate them..I see that was the final blow, she was weak, I have more though", Sezarius' eyes quickly shifted in and out of focus gasping for air as they glazed over into nothing but blue yet again, seeing the same group he had seen previously before they had dropped his lone follower that he had positioned in the inn a few moments ago.

"Keep a eye on them Viel ", he commanded to the being he was sharing visions with , " make sure they don't leave the town, i think i can use them..."

The being known as Viel was lunging from rooftop to rooftop using his strong fore-legs as the group began running down the main road leading straight towards the western part of town.

Viel was one of Sezarius' first creations, built for strictly speed and staying out of the way, densely layered muscles in his legs and fingers resulting in tight gripping and sure-footedness. Dressed in a brown-ragged cloak, all that was visible was cat-like eyes piercing the night underneath the hood.He was sure in his abilities to keep up with this strange group of new-comers he just wasn't sure why his Father would need people like this when he could create superior beings with ease.

"Here they come, so i guess thats what they were running from", Viel snickered as he saw a group of 10 or so members of Sezarius' infection-scout group barreling down the street towards the group fog trailing behind them as they let out a hollow-like scream for a battlecry.

"It seems the eldest of the group is yelling for them to move faster",said Viel as he was keeping up with the group."Karu how much farther till we reach Genn?" yelled the only female of the group while she was launching small flame attacks in the direction of the advancing enemies.

"Others eh?, seems shes a magic user, not near as powerful as Father but she could prove to be trouble".Viel's eyes was watching as every single flame missed its intended target.

"What's this? They're turning to face them?". As the group turned to fight the incoming enemies, each of them prepared there weapons to strike the enemies first. The blonde-haired boy quickly threw his blade into the crowd as they neared.

"Idiot throwing your weapon like that....Wait what?!", Viel stepped back at what he just saw, "Did his weapon just swing straight back to him,I've never seen a weapon that unique, now I know why Father wants to use them."

"Thats one down ", the blonde-haired boy exclaimed as his blade returned with part of the head still on it.The one named Karu quickly rushed the other foes after launching 2 handfuls of shuriken to slow their advance with no avail as the enemies neared even closer,causing the brown-haired boy to slam his way into the group slashing and hacking at a few severing the enemies defensive position as they neared.

"What the hell was that!?!"Viel yelled as a throwing knife of somesort tore through the torso of a enemy who was in the brown-haired boy's blindside, "How did the one named Karu throw a knife with such speed, I've never seen that before!"

The rest of the group quickly ran to the brown-haired boys aide, pushing the other enemies back.

"This battle is already won, these people do seem very skilled. I'd best keep my distance." Viel quickly slid down the side of the roof , swinging on a gutter and landing near the back part of the alleyway , listening to the battle as it continued.

Keri ran for the opening created by Max and Karu's attacks while drawing three cards from her pocket. Seeing the unique runic symbols on each of them, Max knew full well what the combination would produce. "Focus, revealing flames burn darkly..." she said to herself sprinting down the road, the horde completely distracted by her companions.

"Flame Bomb, move!" Max yelled and immediately broke from the group, heading the oposite way Keri was heading. The others quickly followed suit. *She's actually going to do a chant?* Max thought as he ran, *this move's already strong...she's not holding back!*

"Streaming pheonix, rise and strike your foes," she continued as she jumped into the air, and spun a 180* to face the horde that was chasing her companions. "Leave none, take all!" she yelled, bringing the now brightly shining cards up to point them at their target. "Release now, FLAME BOMB!" The ball of flame shot from her hand with force and flew straight, catching some poor soul in the side of the arm and errupting in a giant burst of heat and light, shattering near-by windows and taking out the swarm of undead in a sea of flames. Keri ran back and re-joined her allies as the flames dissipated.

"They stink..." Eric said covering his nose."I didn't know that attack had so much power." Justin inquired looking at Keri and the destruction of her attack."Most apprentice mages can cast magic with the use of those cards like Keri can," Max explained, "and journeyman mages can use chants to cast their spells, however, when the two of these methods are used in conjunction, it can either produce an incredibly powerful attack or cancel the whole thing out.""So that was a fluke?" Justin asked with a surprised voice."I'm proud to say I've never had a misfire with that method." Keri declared, glaring at him.

"Let's go," Karu said leading the way at a moderate jog, "Our temporary base is just ahead of here."

Karu was taking point, with Max and the others falling in behind. "C'mon guys keep up we're almost there",said Karu who realized that Keri's last attack had clearly taken alot out of her.

"How much long-",Eric said pacing himself in the back to watch the rear, stopping his question and his movement when he noticed Karu had his hand up signaling them to stop.

Karu quickly began looking down the nearby alleyways."Justin do u sense anything or am I just getting paranoid?". He glanced at what he thought was a shadow down the alleyway to the east,"You guys wait here, ill go check it out", he said while walked into the alley with dagger inhand.

"Whats going on?",Keri whispered as the others came to abrupt halt."I'm not sure", Justin replied,"This fog is clouding my thoughts i cant sense anything".Max drew his sword showing a sign to the others to be prepared for whatever is over there. "Karu, are you there? What's going on? Karu?".

A few minutes had passed since Karu had walked into the alley, looking for the strange presence he thought he saw. Leaving the group in the middle of the street."Why isn't he answering?, its been too long he might be hurt", Keri asked with a shaken voice.Looking around the foggy section of town they were in."It's creepy here i wanna get to the others and get out of here"."Damn Karu, where the hell are you?" Max said under his breath while gripping his sword tightly. "Alright, guys I'll be back in five minutes, I'm gonna go see what happened"."Whoa!",Justin exclaimed with a shocked look on his face," Thats exactly what Karu just said and hes missing,what the hell are you thinking?""Shut up, I'll be back in five minutes and I'll have Karu with me I promise", Max snapped back at Justin,"I'll be fine I hope...",his voice trailed off as he walked into the dark alley looking for Karu leaving the others alone in the street.

"Hell, now Max is gone too",Eric replied with his arms crossed,"There not even picking us off one by one at this point, its more like,HEY I SEE YOU OVER THERE HERE I COME"."Quit giving them ideas Eric",Keri yelled punching Eric in the gut."I was just playing jeez",he said while rubbing his stomach.Eric noticed both Keri and Justin staring down the alley both Max and Karu disappeared in. They began to walk backwards as a huge outline of a humanoid figure began to show,pulling out there weapons preparing for a fight."WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING GET OVER HERE",Max yelled as he walked out of the alley and into the streetlight carrying Karu over his shoulder."What happened?", Justin asked as they ran over to help Max lay Karu's unconscious body on the ground.

"I'm not sure it seems something surprised him a few blocks from here, based on the bump on his head and the marks around his neck id say some sort of head trauma, I think he will be fine but we gotta find a place to stash him for now until he wakes up atleast",Max answered.

"We can move him into that house over there",Keri said while pointing at a residence 20 yards away.

Max quickly lifted Karu back onto his shoulders."No, we have to keep moving, whatever attacked him like this has to be powerful, since when has anyone actually gotten the jump on Karu".

The others began to nod in agreement as they started walking east once again hoping to find some sort of hint as to where the temporary base Karu mentioned earlier was.

"Wonder where this base is that Karu mentioned?" Keri asked looking uneasy, "I'm pretty tired, and without rest I won't able to use high-level spells or be of much help to you guys in another fight...""It's sure to be around here somewhere," Justin said with a slight shrug, "He did say it was just ahead...""I wonder what attacked him..." Max asked eyeing the light-foot as he carried him to safety."What if he turns into one of 'those things'?" Eric asked, raising fear and doubt amongst the group.

A shriek that had become all to familiar to them was heard behind the group. And as their heads turned, a wave of thirty or so undead came barreling toward them from around 5 blocks away. The group ran full speed, cutting corners down alley ways and down side-roads, in an attempt to lose their pursuers, but to no avail. There was no way they could take on so many of them at once. The swarm of undead inching closer with each passing second, the gang of fighters found themselves heading for a house that appeared to be torn apart, four light-foot soldiers sprawled about, torn apart by some type of animals by the looks of it. Keri gagged at the sight of it.

"Is this the place?!?" Max asked seeing the desolate scene."Looks like it's been hit by a hurricane..." Eric noted."Looks like we're about to be hit as well..." Justin added turning around to see the advancing horde. They were around a hundred or so yards away, still running, they'd be there any second.

"What tha hell are you guys doing?!? RUN!" shouted Genn from the street to their right, "This place has been overrun! There isn't anyone left here to save, we've gotta retreat!"They turned and sprinted, Keri pausing momentarily to lay a wall of ice across the narrow entrance to the street and bolted off after the others. It wouldn't stop them, but it would give them a few extra seconds that they would need to run.

As they exited town from the west, the gang turned back to look at the horrid sight of hundreds of undead moving out from their hiding in the crop fields of Silent Hill to march northward into Falborne Kingdom.

"What are we gonna do against so many?" Max wondered aloud as they ran back towards Rufturf.

Out of Breath and almost out of time Genn and the others had re-entered Rufturf. "Gravv you go alert the Mayor of this, have him get in contact with King Reginald,". Gravv ran away in a panic towards the Mayors Building in the Central District.This had been one of the few times Genn had been scared in his life, seeing dead re-animated bodies could do that to a person.

"Max I want you to take Karu to the closest medical bay,Tole go alert your father the rest you go with him", the southern gate sentries had noticed the commotion going on down below near the entrance.

As Tole had ran off towards his fathers house with the rest of his crew that survived the attack.Max took Karu to the nearest medical station they could find his group followed suit.

"It doesn't matter right now you've gotta alert the rest of the Guard posts we need everyone, there coming, we have to be prepared" he said trying to stay calm.

"Close the gate!!!" The Guard yelled with panic in his voice this had been the first time he had seen the "Crimson Knight" scared he knew to not take this lightly."What should we do now?" the guard questioned Genn who was still trying to keep his composure.

"Wait here for reinforcements, when Gravv reaches the Mayor we will be able to defend the City more efficiently, I'm not sure what after that exactly," Genn breathing deeply still almost to the point of coughing.

The guard looked worried," Are you gonna be alright Genn do you need some water?", the guard asked as he offered him his personal canteen.

The guard asked with worry in his voice," Maybe we should take you to the medical bay or something?"

"No, I'll be fine I'm sure ", Genn said with clarity in his voice making the guard recognize this is the end of the conversation.

Guards from the Mayors office had just begun to arrive at the Southern Gate placing barricades setting up defense perimeters and started evacuating all the residents of the area. Genn walked up to a few of the Rufturf Militia members who had just arrived one of them consisting of Tole's Father, Mox.

"So whats this I hear about an "undead invasion"?" Mox questioned Genn with a smirk on his face its been awhile since he had to be called out for any job this big.

Mox started barking out orders to the rest of the militia members telling them to help with the evacuation and to return here when done. More and more guards arrived every minute it seemed Gravvs message had actually gotten through.Genn walked over to a nearby box and sat down trying to collect his thoughts the voice had finally disappeared and so did the nauseous feeling he had.

"If the fog was that bad, we definitely can't let it enter the city."

Just as he had said that Sezarius had finally set his/Veil's eyes on his next goal, based on his information from the troops he had just aquired it was a huge trading city used by the entirety of Falborne Kingdom. Simply known as Rufturf.Veil who was standing over a hill alone staring at the City in the distance his eyes glowing blue yet again.signifying Sezarius was in his mind.

"This place will definitely suit my army don't you think Veil," he whispered into Veils mind.

"Yes Father I'm sure, do you think the one that took my arm is here as well?", Veil questioned as he lifted his cloak showing where one of his arms had previously been was nothing but a small protrustion on his right shoulder blade.

"Yes, this is definitely the place they retreated too, I want you to sneak in ahead of time we will arrive shortly", as soon as Veil recieved the command he sprinted blindingly fast towards the City, the one known as Karu was definitely here. He was about to claim his revenge.

Max hurried in a jog down the road to the medical center, Karu thrown on his back like a rag-doll. Eric had rushed ahead already to give the hospital a heads-up that they were coming. Justin had run home to gather up a few things before heading back to join with the town's militia. Keri was running alongside Max discussing the events that were unfolding."This isn't looking good..." she said in a quiet tone as they ran, "What are we going to do if those things enter the town? There'll be nothing left!""Calm down, we'll think of something." Max replied with a thoughtful look on his face, "If there's one thing I'm sure of, this town won't fall..."The two continued rushing on toward the hospital, unknowingly, they were already in Viel's telescopic sights as he had already entered the city...

Justin returned to Genn and the lightfoot party with maps and charts of the surrounding area as well as schematics and blueprints for the construction of the town's walls and defences. The young Knight managed to get Genn's attention and introduced his ideas as to how to spread out an effective resistance:

With scrap wood, the townsfolk had built up sturdy barricades at the town's southern exit. Behind the gate was placed 35 light infantry swordsmen and spearmen, backed up by 10 archers positioned behind them. The western gate was lightly defended from within with only 28 heavy infantry and 8 archers, however, upon each side of the gate's wall were placed two giant Ballista Crossbow turrets. The eastern gate appeared the weakest to the eye and would seem most vulnerable, only having 15 or so calvary within the gate, however, the real advantage were the lightfoot and extra horsemen hidden in the vegetation of the Keihoset Forest only a few hundred yards away. Within the town, many checkpoints manned with three or four men each were set up to prevent those that passed the initial wave to break through further. Within the hour, the town was prepared for the horde of undead.

"When would be the perfect time to strike?",Viel pondered, while carefully watching Max's every move.

Noticing that their group had split up as he entered the town with one of them running ahead, and that Max was getting tired with every step due to the weight of Karu's body slung over his shoulders not seeing the creature leaping from rooftosp and in-between alleys with ease keeping a close eye on him.

"NOW!"

Viel ran further down the street with a burst of speed even after losing his left arm his balance was just as good as ever. Now all he had to do was wait for his prey as he neared, the sound of Max's heavy footsteps began to grow closer and closer with every second. Viel was anxious, the hunt, the one thing he truely felt at peace with, not caring at the fact of being a follower as long as it meant he could serve his father with the skills he was given.

Max stepped into Viels line of sight,"This isn't for father", he thought as he leaped to attack with his right hand outstretched showing his dagger-like claws.

Yuuki was standing on top of building. Her mission was to help this group of warriors. She had talked to her father, and he told her what the scouts had seen. He had told her to go help, so with it being her mission, she packed a few supplies and left to help this group. She had left Kyo behind, since he didn't like this sort of thing. She saw one of the warriors she had to help half carrying another one. As she watched, she saw another figure charging them.

'I guess I better make myself known,' she thought.

She reached under her skirt and pulled out a kunai. She jumped down from the building at an angle and kicked the guy attacking in the face, sending him into a nearby building. She raised her kunai and glared at him.

"I will not allow you to harm them! You will have to get through me first!" she yelled.

This is where my stories are. There are some stories that are on deviant art that aren't on fanfiction.net and vice versa. My earlier stories are on fanfiction.net, but they aren't as good as my newer ones.

If I see someone doing something stupid, I stand back and watch. And then I laugh.

Max stopped dead in his tracks, looking at the blue-haired girl that just saved his life. Keri noticed him staring a bit too long and took a swift kick at the back of his knee, dropping him to the ground. She then returned her gaze to the girl. "Thanks for your help," she said eyeing her over once more, "Max, you go on ahead, we'll handle this one..." she raised her knife to eye level and reached her hand into her pocket, bringing a card to the ready.

Max hessitated at first, but then continued on toward the hospital, hoping that the decision wouldn't come back to haunt him later. "You'd better win!" he yelled back as he continued toward the hospital. He'd just drop Karu off and return as quickly as possible. That thing had a serious intent to kill, but he was the only one of the three with the physical strength to carry Karu. 'This could turn out badly...' he thought to himself.

Viel rose up from the Bricks that had fallen on him from the wall of the building. His eyes burning with anger. Keri and the unknown girl prepared themselves. "You up for this?" Keri asked getting in her final ready-stance, this was it.

Viel, just crawled out from the crumbling building after receiving a surprise kick from the newcomer which caused the wound around his missing left arm to reopen. Noticing that his main target was escaping ,he quickly glanced at both Keri and Yuuki. "Should I run after him or fight?", he thought to himself while staring down the girls who were now standing side by side. Veil remembered what Max yelled as he ran to take Karu to safety.

"You better win...Hmph, guess ill stay here and take these two out."

Veil rubbed his reopened wounds as they slowly healed , blood and fog barely escaping from his body. Tearing off his ripped cloak showing his torn and scarred one-armed torso, while bring his daggerlike claws in front of him in a rushing stance staring down the two who were prepared to fight to the death.

"Die!", he yelled as he charged at Keri with tremendous speed , he was in her face before she even noticed jousting his hand at the center of her ribcage to end the battle in one blow. Keri jumped back throwing the card at the ground to deter his movement with a rising flame from the card causing Veil to charge his way through the fire just to meet Yuuki who had just put herself inbetween both him and Keri.

Veil jumped back as Yuuki made a quick stab at forehead and threw another one as he dodged. Veil caught this one and put it in his mouth, realizing this fight might be harder than he originally expected. He saw Keri standing behind Yuuki ,charging another flame card with Yuuki standing a defense position. Both of them had no openings for Veil to exploit.

"I might need some help for this ", he thought just as gunfire,yelling, and the sounds of the undead army approaching could be heard in the distance. He noticed both of the girls reacting to these sounds, they knew what was happening to the soldiers defending the city.

Veil twisted his head in a ferocious manner launching the kunai in his mouth at Yuuki who knocked it away only to see Veil right in her face with his hand completely around her face pushing her to the ground and then finishing his charge off straight at Keri who had just launched the fire ball which impacted his chest, burning away at his flesh. Keri recoiled from the close-range blast as she moved her hands away from covering her eyes to see what was left. Veil was standing in front of her his chest already healing the burn marks, she felt herself lift up off the ground as Veil lifted her up by the throat, gripping it tightly. He leaned in to whisper as she gasped for breath.

This is where my stories are. There are some stories that are on deviant art that aren't on fanfiction.net and vice versa. My earlier stories are on fanfiction.net, but they aren't as good as my newer ones.

If I see someone doing something stupid, I stand back and watch. And then I laugh.

Keri fell from his grasp, the sharp claws on his hand digging in just far enough to draw blood on the back of her neck as she fell away, but it wasn't serious at all.

Viel screamed out as the blade ran him through, then fell limp. After a few seconds, Yuuki placed her foot against his spine and kicked the creature from her katana, then returned it to it's sheath. Viel laid motionless, his eyes un-focused. Keri winced in disgust as his limp body fell within inches of her feet, and she quickly jumped back from it.

Keri looked over for Yuuki who was already making her way off towards the hospital silently, so she ran ahead to catch up with her. "Guess that's the last we'll be hearing from that freak..." Keri smirked.

"Oh really?" a voice screached from behind them. The two turned as Viel had risen to his feet, the wound in his chest completely healed. He rushed the two, moving in between them and doing a split-kick to each one, Yuuki flew into a stack of boxes, while Keri was sent into a nearby wall. The Cloak the creature was wearing fell from his face as he rushed once more and pinned the magic-user to the wall with his claw, digging it through her right shoulder and into the brick wall on the other side before stopping. She screamed aloud as the pain shot through her. "I think 'father' may have a use for you..." he whispered into her ear, the grotesque form of his face only inches from her own. He inhaled deeply as if smelling of her, grossing her out even more in the process, then he exhaled next to her neck, a heavy mist coming from his mouth and covering her in a foul smelling fog.

She could feel the wound on her neck begin to burn with pain as the fog seemed to seep through her skin. She saw visions of horror, and a cloaked character with shining blue eyes in the midst of an army of monsters. He called out to her, saying she belonged to him now. She screamed out again as her vision started to fade, and she felt her instincts begin to take over.

"PYRO SHOT!" a male voice yelled from off to the side, and before Viel could react, he was taken off of his feet and cast to the side by a large burst of flame, ripping his claw from Keri's arm, and blowing his mist away as well. Viel rolled on the ground, then flipped quickly to his feet, grasping away at his cloak which had caught fire instantaneously, attempting to put it out. He adjusted the charred hood and stood there, ready to take on this new challenger.

Keri fell to the ground and her senses slowly returned. She looked around for a second before finding her saviour, a short boy, wearing a blue and red shirt, with a black cap covering his blazing red hair. "SETH!" she shouted as the 'Flame Fist' strolled up beside her.

"Sorry to keep you ladies waiting...you alright?" he asked in a calm manner, not lowering his gaze from his opponent. He took up a fighting stance and awaited his opponent to make a move if he dared.

------Meanwhile--------

"Hold the gates!" Justin yelled out to the militia at the front gate, the enemy's advance had begun. The barricades wouldn't hold forever, and the enemy force was a small one at that. "They're testing our defences with this advance party..." he determined, "They're alot smarter than we thought."

A soldier from the town gaurd approached him, though it was awkward for Justin, being much younger to be in charge, he WAS the only knight available on hand, and had assumed command of the forces. "Sir!" the man spoke.

"What is it?" Justin said, half in thought.

"All civilians have been moved to the 'Safe House' sir!" the soldier replied.

"Good! Rally with the others in Beta Squad and prepare for the enemy to breach the walls any minute." Justin replied sending the man away. 'The people are in the underground safe-house underneath the mercinary shop. They'll be hidden well from the enemy forces until help arrives. Even if we fail here, the civilians should be okay...' he thought to himself as he oversaw the last of the first wave of undead get torn apart by his spearmen just outside the front gates. Now he would wait for the inevitable second wave, possibly even five times as powerful. This was indeed going to be one hell of a night.

------Meanwhile--------

"Is there anyone around?" Eric yelled into the hospital, as Max ran up with Karu in tow. The place had been deserted as the news of the advancing army was announced. "Where the HELL is everyone?!"

Max ran up and noticed a sign on the door stating: "IN CASE OF APOCOLYPTIC ZOMBIE OUTBREAK, HEAD ON OVER TO GENN'S MERCINARY INTERPRISES GRAVV'S FOR A DISCOUNT PRICE ON ALL YOUR ZOMBIE EXTERMINATING NEEDS.

"I think everyone's gone Eric, let's head over to Genn's, there must be a doctor there somewhere!", and with that the three headed off toward the Merc Shop. Hoping they'd find the medical care Karu would need to recover and help with the coming assault.

((OOC: yeah i know its been awhile sorry is all i can say blame it on the twlight saga and my forgetfulness, is forgetfulness a word it says its spelled wrong i know that but, is it i dont feel like looking it up )).

Veil stared at his new found opponent, with wonder and fear in his eyes.

Two..Two people who can throw flames from there hands and there both right in front of me

Noticing now that Yuuki was limping towards his direction. With the flamecasters standing in battle poses behind her. Veil eyes wondered off to the right noticing and coming up with a plan of escape.

There indeed worthy of being subjects to father, but i must get my vengeance against the one who took my arm.

Veil took a quick gaze at his opponents sizing them up as Yuuki came closer.

Fight or Run?,Veil thought again as he looked to the right and dashed down the darkness of the alley way.

He didnt care if they followed ,but he couldnt die before avenging his lost arm, he began to sniff out Karu's scent along with the others who were carrying his unconscious body.Following it to the Hospital, noticing the trail had quickly veered off towards another part of the city, he was close now the trail began to get more recent as he ran with blinding speed down the streets.Only a few minutes away and he would find his goal.

Gravv heard the battle going on on the borders of the City, but he had a different plans.

"Yup, gonna save alot of lives today", he said aloud to himself as he painted his name over Genn's Mercenary Enterprises yet again..today. Gravv grinned hugely as he painted the last letter p in 'Gravv's shop" poorly over the window.

Evacuate, E-smack-uate don't they know who I am Im the Mercenary formerly known as Gravv 'the Glory', he thought proudly, reaching down to pick up the red paint bucket along with the wide spanned brush, only to hear someone yelling his named as he began to reach the front door.

"Gravv!", Max yelled as him and Eric who was currently carrying Karu's still unconscious body sprinted towards him.

"Its Gravv THE GLORY!!!!!" he yelled back as they neared him.

"Why is Karu sleeping doesnt he know theres a zombie apocalypse going on right now",He eyed Karu who was being carried by Eric who was currently stifling a laugh.

"He's not asleep dimwit hes hurt and we arent sure whats wrong with him", Max countered, " Let us inside so we can leave him here while we go get help".

"Its a trick Max".

"What, no its not hes really hurt", Max said angrily as he watched Gravv dip his brush into the paint.

"No its trick watch", Gravv swiftly swiped his paint brush over Karus body 3 times before Eric could back away.

"What the hell do you think your doing Gravv!!!!", Eric shouted.

Gravv stared at Karu's body waiting for him to wake up,"Huh what do you know i guess he really is hurt". Eric and Max looked at eachother with disbelief as Gravv marched over to the front door unlocking it.

"Welcome to Gravv's Shop of Zombie Exterminating Needs", he shouted as he waved them inside.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Veil was watching from a rooftop just overhead as they walked in to the shop.

Zombie Exterminating.....

((OOC; Its rushed sorry I wanted to make a post to keep it moving, but I just cant seem to get in the mood :\))

"Sir! The enemy has begun invading the eastern district! They've broken down the gates and our calvary can't hold out much longer!" a soldier yelled as he arrived on horseback at the southern exit where Justin was directing the defensive.

"Understood," Justin replied, signaling towards a gaurd in a nearby tower with a sharp wave of his hand, "Take ten swordsmen from here, and return to the eastern gate to support our calvary." The gaurd in the tower lit the large pile of wood in the tower. The large flame illuminated well in the night and could be seen even through the surrounding fog that had moved overhead.

"This is it men..." said the leader of the forest party, "After this next wave enters, we charge in behind them and cut them down from both sides. Those wretched undead won't be able to overcome being hit from two sides by horsemen!"

----------Meanwhile----------

"I found him like that when we were back at Silent Hills..." Max explained as they laid Karu out on a bed in the large under-room of the mercinary shop.

"Something got ahold of him." Eric observed after looking at him closely. "I wonder if he'll turn into one of those things?"

"We can't afford to think like that..." Kitt replied walking around a corner.

"If he is, we can't have him waking up and killing people though..." Eric said in a serious tone.

"You stay here with him then." Max said as he turned back towards the exit, "I left Keri behind to deal with a stray zombie, and I'm going to make sure she's alright!" he climbed back up the ladder and made it out the door. "You'd better wake the hell up soon Karu..." he said as he exited the shop. He took off running, unsheathing his sword, only to be blind-sided by an unseen force.

The impact threw him across the yard and onto one of the many brick roads that lined Rufturf. He flipped quickly to his feet as he skidded across the ground and looked up to see Viel, again lunging at him, claws extended this time. The slash was parried with Max's blade just in time and the two became dead-locked against eachother. "You again!? I thought Keri would've finished you off by now!" Max said in an angry voice.

"Oh...that magic girl? It's sad, she died so easily..." Viel lied as he flashed his blood-covered claws to Max in an attempt to anger him, and it worked. A burst of energy rushed out of Max's body, forcing Viel backwards, then Max lept into the air, and brought down his blade which shined a brilliant cerulean color directly towards Viel.

----------Meanwhile----------

"Keep firing! They're advancing on the gates! There's gotta be atleast fifty of them this time!" a soldier manning one of the ballistas on the western gate yelled audiably so that Keri, Seth and Yuuki could hear the commotion. "What in the hell is THAT!?" he screamed as a savage beastly roar was let out from off in the distance. The group had recently arrived at the hospital, but Max, Eric, and Karu were no where to be found. However, Yuuki had noticed a blood trail heading back towards the north-east, and it was fresh.

"Maybe the blood was left by that thing?" Yuuki said as she looked off in that general direction.

"Maybe..." Seth said, "But I think this place is about to be overrun. There's no way that gate can hold out forever in it's condition." The girls looked and noticed it had already taken severe damage. As they gazed, the roar from the other side of the gate came again. Closer this time, more violent-sounding.

"TAKE COVER!" one of the soldiers on the wall shouted as he jumped off of the 20ft wall. The others left that didn't jump weren't so lucky. A gigantic boulder crashed into the top of the wall, crushing the remaining three bowmen and their ballista.

"We have to take that thing down!" Another archer on the other side of the wall yelled, focusing the rest of the fire-power on whatever it was. There was a loud crash as the gate shook violently, the creature they were firing at was on the other side, and it was large enough to move the gate by itself apparently.

"I don't think these guys will last without extra help either..." Keri said.

"Me too," Keri seconded, "and you?" she asked looking over at Yuuki, "You can stay here and help us, or go off and help out Max. Your choice."

((OOC: Dev, this is your chance to unleash your next special undead. Julia, this is your chance to break off from the rest of the group if you want, or you could stay and fight with Seth and Keri. If you're not sure what we're fighting, then just think about your new favorite shooting game, and put it in perspective to what's happening at the moment, and you'll figure it out. Or, you could PM me or Devon. Either way...))

((OOC: I figured it was a tank. It sounded like one. L4D2 was AWESOME!))

Yuuki was looking toward the gate and her face started to light up as she saw the next monster.

"He's so big!" she said, an insane smile coming over her. "He looks strong! I haven't fought a strong opponent in so long."

She took a few steps toward the gate, unsheathing her katana as she went. It was almost like the threat of death turned her on, which, it kinda did. She turned around slowly to face Kerri and Seth. Yuuki actually had a look on her face that made her look a little insane.

"Come on," she said. "Let's beat this guy. Then we can go help your friend."

Yuuki turned away from them and looked back at the gate. She started to laugh and waited for the monster to appear.

This is where my stories are. There are some stories that are on deviant art that aren't on fanfiction.net and vice versa. My earlier stories are on fanfiction.net, but they aren't as good as my newer ones.

((OOC: i think i said i wouldnt take this long to post ever again >.> i broke that promise sorry guys))

Knocking,Moving a gate with ease the creature roared again whilst pinning down a escaping soldier. Standing at about 7 feet tall , he was a towering hunk of muscle, with a torso encased with which looked like a enlarged ribcage, upper back and the front section of it's legs was shielded by what looked as solid bone. Entire body was soaked with blood just one look and you could tell what was on its mind as he eyed his new found "play-things".

Hunched over he charged, snarling, ground quaking as he went.

Seth quickly began to back-peddle trying to put a little bit more distance between them but to no avail the monster slammed his fingertips into the stone street sending two "small" chunks of the street at him. Seth reflexivly put his arms to guard his torso and face only to see Yuuki make two sudden slashes with her katana " cutting" off their trajectory.

Keri was rounding the Beast's right side while it was still confused as to what just happened. Shaking its head in anger, snarling yet again this time with his focus concentrating on Yuuki, eyeing her katana.

His Lower back has no defenses, Keri thought to herself while plucking a card out of her pouch muttering words as she was concentrating. The air chilling around her as she did so. The Beast wheeled around taking his focus off of Yuuki's Katana at the sudden drop in temperature. Keri's eyes widened when she saw the Beast only 15 yards at the most away from her, with a Killing/Smashing intent in its eyes.

"Shit.."Keri gasped, as the Beast set off in a crouching run with its arms raised above his head, seeing his left arm flying along with a spray of blood directly to her left as Yuuki landed on the Beasts left side katana still out.

"NOW!!!",Yuuki yelled as she tucked into a dodge roll off to the side as the Beast took a swing with his non-existant left arm at the same time as a wave of frost hit his front rendering him immobile as he strained against his now solid frozen joints.

((OOC: Brad this fight is now yours the "tank's life" is now in you and Julia's hands kill him however you want hes immobile for a short while from Keri's "frost wave" ))
